Rushford EDA looks to cut deficit Financing for Industrial Drive project approved By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The Rushford Council discussed needed changes to the EDA budget at the Monday, August 14 meeting.

The Rushford Economic Development Authority has been a productive force within the City of Rushford, as a source and manager of flood recovery loans and a catalyst for increased economic stability and growth. However, unknown variables throughout each annual cycle make budget predictions challenging. To avoid dipping into further reserve funds, while facing a $31,000 deficit, the EDA has opted to end its contract with CEDA at the end of the year. “We’re being cautious of reserves in the EDA. [Flood loan] funds will stop coming in at some point,” stated City Administrator Tony Chladek. “In the short term, we need to eliminate the deficit. In the long term, we need to be mindful for the future and how we’re going to manage costs. These revenues are an area of EDA concern. This will mitigate things to the

tune of about $40,000.” The EDA considered five recommended options to remedy the issue. They included requesting a specific amount of budgetary increase annually, requesting an amount annually for a limited number of years, and cutting the CEDA contract while increasing the service contract with Rushford Peterson Valley Chamber of Commerce. However, it was noted these only addressed the issue short-term. Longer term solution included setting policy recommendations that limited use of reserves, exempted land/property sales as operational funding source, and recommended replacement of transfer-in flood fund revenues when they cease in five years. The commission recommended both the policy recommendations and eliminating the CEDA contract so as to mitigate both a short and long-term solution. “It’s important work, but a lot of it can be done with staff

and working with the chamber,” noted Councilor Terri Benson, an EDA board member. “We need to keep the door open. CEDA could be a good and influential resource. We’re just trying to stop the bleeding of our budgetary constraints.” Benson went on to note that the timing might provide a good opportunity for the EDA to determine the right reserve fund threshold as well. CEDA will continue to be a preferred vendor for the city, but in specific instances. “We have to be smarter with our budget,” added Benson. Councilor Jim O’Donnell questioned the efficiency of the CEDA contract and whether the city had gotten significant “bang for the buck.” Benson noted no complaints with the work done by the organization. “Going forward, we need to make sure we don’t have these same issues. We need to be more streamlined. There’s some very See RUSHFORD Page 2 

Mike Bubany, David Drown and Associates, reviewed the plan to finance the Industrial Drive Improvement project during a public hearing at the August 28 meeting of the Chatfield City Council. The total project cost including associated financing expenses is $908,440. Three sources of funding will be used including a $457,000 general obligation tax abatement note (series 2017A), a $300,000 general obligation taxable utility revenue note (series 2017B), and a Business Development Public Infrastructure DEED grant in the amount of $151,440 for roadway improvement.

Bubany explained that the property tax abatement information shows the number of parcels along Industrial Drive on paper to pay for the principal of the abatements bonds. This is needed for the legal authority for the issuance of the bonds. During the abatement hearing there were no questions from the public or the council. The council adopted the Tax Abatement Resolution which sets up the tax abatement district for funding public improvements associated with Industrial Drive. These improvements will serve multiple commercial and industrial properties. The abatement will contribute to the financing of the project See CHATFIELD Page 7 

good things in place. Maybe we don’t need to rely as heavily on CEDA,” advised Benson. Chladek indicated CEDA had been made aware of the difficulties earlier this year and insisted there were no hard feelings over the situation. The city council also approved a recommendation from the planning commission regarding small wireless facilities. Mobilitie, a wireless infrastructure company headquartered out of California, approached the commission for permission to place wireless equipment in cityowned right-of-way. New legislation allows wireless providers to place equipment within municipal right-of-ways, subject to local permitting and approval. It was noted the legislation’s language will maintain municipal access to the right-of-way and control through zoning measures. The company ran afoul of some Minnesota utilities in 2016 after confusion and what was noted by some as misrepresentation of the legislation. The company must follow all local permitting and regulations, prior to be granted access to the right-of-way. August 1, the Rushford Planning Commission approved placement of a 50-foot, steel pole on north of Industrial Road,

just east of Hammel Equipment’s property. Minutes from the meeting note information provided by the League of Minnesota Cities regarding management rights, infrastructure size, and permitting processes and fees aided the commission in their decision. The city does not currently have a right-of-way ordinance. It was noted at the meeting that the small cell tower may increase service for cellular and WiFi users within the community. Pending all zoning regulations, permitting, and an agreement, it was deemed to be a benefit to the community. It was specified, however, that poles be erected as close to property lines as possible to be less obtrusive to other property owners. The proposed pole on Industrial Road would not limit future light industrial development in the area. An agreement for the pole will still need to be put in place and approved by the council to include items detailing rental fees, paid to the city, and maintenance. Additionally, building permit paperwork will need to be formally processed. Ryan Streff, permitting manager for Mobilitie attended the August 14 council meeting to lay out the plans. Streff presented current company data indicated a massive uptick in wireless data usage and thus the need for such provid-

ers. One figure cited indicate a 500 percent expected increase in demand from 2016-2021. Mobilitie is looking to place a small cell facility on the pole. The four-component system would include an antenna, small satellite dish, AC distribution, and a remote radio unit. The equipment would need hook up to city electrical and would be separately metered by the city. The pole and equipment would be operated and fully maintained by Mobilitie who has contracted with Sprint for operation on the pole. Should other companies want to operate on the same or added devices, Mobilitie would need to come before the council again for approval. The technology is only approximately two years old, according to Sheff, who noted 70,000 small cell units are scheduled to be deployed by Sprint around the country. “It’s a relatively new service,” he noted. Site security is not expected to be an issue. In other news, the city is planning for the placement of two tourism kiosks within the city. Recommended by the EDA, the project looks to place the aluminum, eight- by eight-foot kiosks at the depot and a second location, somewhere near the R-P School District’s Niggle Field Sports Complex or Creekside Park. They will display color mapping and graphics indicating items of interest within the community including, parks, trails,

water access, athletic areas, restaurants, lodging, and entertainment, among other things. The display is constructed for longevity, but it also easily modified to remove or add features or sites mapped, as needed. “The goal is to enhance downtown vitality and the marketing of the community,” noted Administrator Chladek. “The chamber, led by Jen Hengel, will be working with area businesses to ensure the mapping and the display incorporates businesses and community aspects that will inform visitors.”

The cost of the project is $9,800. However, the city has been fortunate to secure partial funding from Fillmore County Statewide Health Improvement Partnership ($3,000), Rushford Peterson Valley Chamber of Commerce ($2,000), Rushford Community Foundation ($3,000). The remaining $1,800 will be funded from the city’s EDA fund. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, August 28, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

C ommentary Who needs to step up? By Lee Hamilton An interesting thing keeps happening to me. Every few days, someone — an acquaintance, a colleague, even a stranger on the street — approaches me. They ask some version of the same question: What can we do to pull ourselves out of this dark period? For the many Americans who Lee H. respect repHamilton resentative democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law, there’s reason to be concerned. The President is off to a rocky start: he’s unproductive and undignified at home and derided on the world stage. Congress struggles to get its bearings. In the country at large, forces of intolerance and division are at loose on the streets and on the nightly news. So are we in a downward spiral as a nation? Not by a long shot. Because here’s the thing to keep in mind: our institutions are far more durable than any single president or any single historical period. History is certainly on our side. We’ve survived a civil war, two world wars, Watergate, four presidential assassinations, the packing of the Supreme Court by Franklin Roosevelt, economic depressions and recessions, more nasty power struggles than you can count... and still the country has moved forward. You can look back and gain confidence from our history. Or you can look around you. Congress as an institution is being tested as it rarely has in its modern history, and it’s shown a Editorial Cartoon

few hopeful glimmers. It did so when it passed by a huge margin its sanctions bill against Russia, rebuking President Trump for his mysterious fascination with Vladimir Putin and his unwillingness to single out Russia for criticism. It did so even more forcefully when Republican leaders in the Senate took the extraordinary step of holding pro forma sessions during recesses so that a Republican president could not make recess appointments and circumvent the normal Senate confirmation process — or, to be more precise, so that he could not fire the attorney general and then appoint someone who would fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The federal bureaucracy has drawn lines in the sand, too. When the President suggested that law enforcement officers should, in essence, rough up suspects, the acting chief of the Drug Enforcement Administration sent an email to his employees rebuking the idea. When the President announced plans to discriminate against transgender troops, the Pentagon declined to begin the process. When two billionaire friends of the President tried to force federal regulators to bend rules in their favor, they were rebuffed by the agencies in question. There’s been real pushback by Foreign Service officers against a move to hollow out the State Department. And, the courts have blocked various Trump immigration policies. At the state and local level, there’s been similar resistance. Though some states appear ready to go along with the Presidential Advisory Commission on Voter Integrity’s maneuvering to shrink the vote, many are not.

California Gov. Jerry Brown and other governors and mayors took a major step when they indicated that they will still be working to address climate change even after President Trump declared the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris climate accord. And it’s not just pushback: The failure by Congress and the President to make progress on funding the rebuilding or expansion of basic infrastructure has alarmed governors, mayors, and policy makers throughout state and local government, who are demanding action on infrastructure problems. Then, of course, there are the business and other leaders who resigned from various presidential advisory boards in the wake of the President’s response to the Charlottesville clashes in early August. And the scientists, including some within the government, who are trying to draw attention to administration efforts to weaken the role of scientists in environmental regulation and climate policy. And an aroused, watchful national media that has worked hard to shine a light on the administration’s actions and the President’s activity. And the many Americans who besieged Congress as the Senate considered repealing the Affordable Care Act. In other words, our institutions — Congress, the executive branch, the courts, civil society — are being put to the test. And they’re beginning to step up. So must we all. Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar, IU School of Global and International Studies; and a Professor of Practice, IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Trust me! By Yvonne Nyenhuis My husband Glenn and I were in the restaurant business in Lanesboro for thirteen years. The White Front Café provided a stage where cusYvonne tomers played Nyenhuis out their lives and shared their experiences over a cup of coffee. One day a couple came through the doors , smiling and made themselves comfortable in a booth halfway along the wall. They had just moved onto a piece of land about three miles out of town where there was an old farm house and a barn which would provide shelter for the young woman’s two horses. The two years that followed were full of surprises. It turned out the husband was a con-artist. This presented his new wife with a dilemma once she realized she had been lied to. Watching him in action was an education. He was an expert at singling out people who were vulnerable. He made a point of being a good listener. They were soon convinced that here was a man who understood them and shared their dreams. Once he had their trust he would offer to help them solve their problems including conducting business deals for them. Somehow the money from the sale never got back to the

owner. Our Con-man particularly liked people who were religious. With one couple, he went to church with them on Sundays and sat beside them singing hymns. Then he offered to sell some cattle for them. In that deal he managed to walk away with sixteen-thousand dollars of their savings! (As reported to me at the time.) While he spent some time in prison at Stillwater it appeared that he enjoyed considerable success separating people from their money. I fantasized that if “I was him” I would have invested my “wealth” and lived on the residual income. Then the realization struck like a bolt of lightening. It wasn’t about the money. It was the “Game”! What he lived for was the feeling of empowerment that came from manipulating people. He took pleasure in bombarding his constituency with a stream of lies and outrageous behavior and watching them struggle with the impact. What was most remarkable our “Hero” had a fan club, a group of followers who were faithful, unwavering in their support! He told them that “He was a good person who was misunderstood!” They seemed to be impervious to the lies and outrageous behavior and were prepared to follow him “to the gates of hell!” And so it was, when Donald Trump made his bid for the See TRUST ME!

Donald Trump’s presentation was strangely familiar. He never needed to pay for advertising. A barrage of lies streamed from him and his outrageous behavior stunned the public. The Media couldn’t keep up with him. The Pundits fell over themselves as they eagerly embraced the explosive dialogue that unfolded at a breathless pace in front of them.

More comments from an “Old Soldier” By Ron Scheevel Preston, MN As I prepare to pen my thoughts on several subjects, I realized I have strong opinions on a few things that are current events. As I read the sports section of the Roches- Ron Scheevel ter’s Post-Bulletin, I noticed that on Monday Night Football, 11 members of the Cleveland Browns football team knelt during the National Anthem. As a veteran, it bothers me that they used this method to express their free speech. Although it is their right, it sets a poor example of patriotism for our youth when our country desperately needs patriots. Some of the events of this age are so similar to what I saw as a young soldier departing to and returning from Vietnam in 1967. The flag desecration, the taunting of us at the airport in San Francisco, and the general disrespect for authority. It seems that peaceful and respectful protest is difficult for some people once again. While

I certainly respect and even encourage peaceful protest of important issues, it really bothers me that our flag and National Anthem are used as tools in these public demonstrations. In my opinion, it is a great disrespect for all of our veterans who carried the flag, went to war for the flag, and will one day have our caskets covered by the flag. Enough on that subject. Next is an issue that is very dear to me. Much has been printed about the proposed veterans home in Fillmore County. The two Veterans Home Committees, one in Preston and one in Spring Valley, are working hard to bring a veterans home to Fillmore County. Our first order of business is to secure ten million dollars in state bond funds. Two other communities are also trying to bring homes to their areas. Although Bemidji and Montevideo have been working longer than us, the needs assessment shows southeast Minnesota has the largest number of underserved veterans. As we approach the new state

legislative session, which is the bonding year, I encourage you to contact your representative and senator and show your support for a home in Fillmore County. Myself and Co-Chair Don Gildner encourage your questions and comments on this matter. On a more cheerful and positive note, when I drive through our communities it really makes me feel that patriotism is alive and well in our towns. The flag displays in Preston and Harmony are awesome. Also when we (our color guard) march in the local parades and people stand, remove their hats and applaud respectfully, it sends chills down this old soldier’s spine. Thanks for your support. As this summer represents 50 years since I was counting the days I had left in Vietnam, I say a prayer for all my comrades who didn’t return home and also for those who did and carry the scars of all the wars. As we go forward we must pray for the end of armed conflict. May God bless our troops, our veterans and “God Bless the USA.” Sincerely, The “Old Soldier”

Chatfield School Board continues construction project By Mary L. Allen The Chatfield School Board met in the media center of the Chatfield High School on Wednesday, August 30, 2017 at 6 p.m. in a closed meeting for a superintendent evaluation. The regular meeting began at 7 p.m. In attendance were Superintendent Ed Harris, and board members Jerry Chase, Lanny Isensee, Scott Backer, Amy Jeffers and Matt McMahon. Katie Priebe was not present. There were no board committee reports. Craig Ihrke, elementary principal, reported that the workshops have gone well and the teachers have spent a lot of time getting the rooms ready to welcome back the students. He stated that elementary conferences would be on September 5 and 6 and school would start for K-6 students on September 7. Superintendent Harris commended both principals, Randy Paulson and Craig Ihrke, for getting everything ready for the beginning of the school year and was looking forward to students returning and bringing the energy back to the buildings. He also thanked the office staff for readying all the necessary schedules and legwork to make the school year start on a good note. The cleaning crews worked especially hard this summer having to work around all the construction in progress. He also thanked the technology director, Damon Lueck and technology assistant, Dirk Young for the many hours they spent getting the technology infrastructure ready for the school year. As far as construction updates, Harris reported that the gym, boys’ locker room, and the storage areas are functional, with some additional work that will be done when school starts or shortly thereafter. Classrooms are all newly carpeted with new student and teacher desks. The second phase of construction will start this fall and the bids came in favorably. This fall excavation will begin for the building addition. The weight room will temporarily be moved so the two new science rooms can be completed. These should be finished by second semester. In March the kitchen will close and all meals will be prepared at the elementary school. This will allow construction and readjusting of space for the new high school kitchen. The media center will close in May as the remodeling of this space begins. All consent items were approved, which included both elementary and high school student and staff handbooks and the high school discipline matrix. Resignations were accepted from: Kim King, elementary teacher; Sally Bahl, elementary para; Samantha Gibson, fall play/one act advisor; and Dana Norby, elementary special education teacher.

the Hiroshima schools, the congregation of All Souls Church Unitarian in Washington D.C. shipped art and school supplies to Hiroshima for the children’s use. In 1948, the children’s drawings were sent from Hiroshima to the Washington D.C. church as a thank-you for the materials, then displayed around the country with funds from the U.S. Government. When the pictures were returned to the church, they were stored away for safekeeping for nearly five decades. In 1995, the drawings were rediscovered and their story was slowly pieced together. Melvin Hardy, then All Souls Church’s Administrator, and other church members formed a group to restore and reframe the pictures. In 2006, Shizumi Shigeto Manale visited the church and viewed the children’s pictures. Inspired by the story behind the pictures, Shizumi returned to her home city of Hiroshima to reunite the student artists, now in their 70s and 80s, with their original drawing and to produce a film that reflects on war, peace, and hope. Prints of the original drawings on loan from All Souls Church Unitarian will be on display in the St. Mane Theatre lobby before events and from 1-5 p.m. September 21-23 and 28-30. Shizumi and Melvin Hardy will be in Lanesboro for a discussion about the drawings and film following a public screening of the Pictures from a Hiroshima Schoolyard documentary at the St. Mane Theatre on Saturday, September 30 at 7:30 p.m. A history exhibition called “From War to Reconciliation” will also be on display in the upper level studio space of the St. Mane Theatre from 1-5 p.m. September 21-23 and 28-30. Developed by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Halls for Atomic Bomb Victims, the exhibition will be presented on loan from the St. PaulNagasaki Sister City Committee. The exhibit includes 47 posters that tell the difficult history of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the closing days of WWII.

This special book offers readers a remarkable new perspective on the final moments of WWII, the 50 years that followed, and the courage it took for one woman to tell her story of nuclear war and peace.

Our staff at the Fillmore County Journal would like to take a moment to thank our readers and our advertisers for their support, participation, and sense of ownership of this publication. Without the support of our advertisers, we could not provide meaningful coverage of city council, county board, and school board meetings. We also could not provide free obituaries, along with free birth, engagement, wedding, and military service announcements. Without the support of our advertisers, there would be no sports section, and no recognition of the accomplishments of our youth. And, we wouldn't be able to provide all of the great human interest stories that capture the interests and hearts of our readers. And, we thank our readers for not only supporting this publication by reading the newspaper cover-to-cover each week, but for also supporting the businesses that advertise in this publication. There is a symbiotic relationship between our advertisers and our readers, for which we are grateful.

Spring Valley to lease incubator building

By Rich Wicks The Spring Valley City Council met in regular session August 28. Members present included Tony Archer, Todd Jones, Jessy Betts, Mike Hadland and City Administrator Deb Zimmer. Mayor Jim Struzyk was absent, so Jones led the meeting. No visitors had signed up to address the council. Council members spoke with the owner of a house on West High Street that had sustained fire damage. Others in the neighborhood had complained about the condition of the home. The owner (Brian) stated, “The letter I got said there was nothing being done there. We’ve hauled out twelve tons of garbage and debris…It’s gutted down to the studs right now, and we’re figuring out what to do with it.” He added that it was good to leave the house open for a while, as that gave everything a chance to air out. Jessy Betts asked, “What’s the short-term plan for it? Is the house structurally sound?” The owner replied that house mainly sustained smoke damage, with only one stud getting charred. He added, “I do want to get it sealed up. Windows and siding Captain Orval Amdahl, of Lanesboro, returning the sword to Mr. will be first.” The council took Tadahiro Motomura, of Nagasaki, at a 2013 ceremony in St. Paul no formal action on the issue. Next, the council discussed with translator Ben van Lierop at center. Photo courtesy of Caren Stelson the request from a business to

use the incubator building, for an indoor shrimp facility. It was discussed that although the city could continue to use the building, it would be good to allow a new business into town by renting it out. Zimmer pointed out that the request was for a seven-year lease, but that the city generally hasn’t signed such agreements for more than five years at a time. She also said the business owner had mentioned putting steel siding on the building, and she said the council could consider asking for that in lieu of rent. After discussion, the council voted to seek a five-year lease agreement, with siding in lieu of rent, or with a rental amount agreeable to both parties. Zimmer said that the city’s contract with Peopleservices to manage the waste water treatment plant is coming up for review. She asked if the council

would like to advertise to hire a Class B Operator for the plant, rather than contracting with Peopleservices. She explained this would result in a small savings for the city, but that the real benefit would be that person’s availability to help with other duties for the city (street maintenance). The council voted to inform Peopleservices that the city will be seeking a Class B Operator. The council voted to approve the hiring of Kyle Murphy as an EMT, pending certification. Zimmer said the city had some recent trouble with the website and internet connectivity. She added, “Onsite was here to work with the server; it was the server, not the internet.” She said it’s been working better since. The next regular meeting of the city council will be Monday, September 11 at 6 p.m. The public is welcome.

Fillmore County Sports 2017 Football Preview By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal. com The high s c h o o l The Trende football Report season begins with what is the new normal per the district format; changes. L-A moves from the Paul Trende M i d Southeast East District (R-P, FC, Kingsland, etc.) to the Southeast-White (Chatfield, etc.). Cotter does the opposite. BP moves from MSE West to East. Each MSE Sub-District now has nine teams. Cannon Falls joins L-A as a new team in the Southeast-White, taking over for Red bound Pine Island. The White and Red each have eight teams. K-W moves into the seven team Section 1AA (for D-E). In nine man, Cleveland/Emmanuel Lutheran joins Section 1, as A-C/G-E and Randolph play 9-man regular seasons, 11-man play-offs. The 9-man South District has three divisions. Houston, Lanesboro, and M-C are all in the East with other perennial “SEC” counterparts. Four county teams come off winning seasons. They look to extend their success. Rushford-Peterson enters the season as defending MSEEast co-champions (6-1) and the defending Section 1A champs. Behind Noah Carlson’s Halley’s Comet season, the Trojans went 12-2, finishing as Class A Runner-Up. “Flash” Carlson is gone, along with a great senior group that also included fellow All-District players Luke Rasmussen, Landon G o r e e , and Ethan Dawson Dahl Anderson. Head Coach Davin Thompson’s most noteworthy returnees this year are at the ball handling positions. All-District guys Jake Paulson (6’0” 180 senior WR/LB), Dawson Dahl (6’1” 190 senior RB/LB), and Landon Skalet (5’9” 160 junior Q B / C B ) Jake Paulson each enter their third years of varsity action. Paulson had a big junior year (41-887, 12 TDs receiving, 70 tackles, six sacks, two INTs, five FRs). Dahl (66-364, 3 TDs rushing) mostly blocked

for Carlson, but was the team’s leading tackler (84). Skalet was extra efficient at quarterback (91-149, 1,612 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs passing, 124.2 QB-rating). Damon Dau (6’0” 190 senior FB/LB), Ethan Hermanson (5’8” 160 sophomore RB/LB), Carter Weidemann (5’7” 180 junior RB/DT), and Ian Brown (5’8” 180 junior C/ DL) were also starters. Other seniors are Cody Ryan (5’8” 160 WR/CB), Michael Ekern (5’6” 125 WR/CB), Sam Schwendinger (5’4” 125 WR/ DT), and Dustin Brand (6’0” 170 G/DT). The Trojans have seven seniors, eight juniors, 13 sophomores, and five freshman for a roster of 33. R-P drops rival L-A. They add Cotter. They open at Kingsland, have FC week three, and Goodhue week six. Chris Mensink’s Fillmore Central Falcons enter 2017 having lost back-to-back section title games in two different agonizing ways. Last year, FC fell to R-P in a heart-ripper 22-21. The Falcons, the MSEEast’s co-champs (6-1), had their second straight 9-2 season. All-District picks Riley Means, Justin Ristau, and Walker Ward graduated amidst a 16-man class of 2017. FC has a 16-man senior class this year too. They return five (one-time) A-D players. Thirdyear starter Brady Ristau (5’9” 190 FB/ LB) heads the cast. The rugged senior (553 yards, 5 TDs, teamleading 87 tackles) will Brady Ristau be a force on both sides of the ball. Josh Peters (5’9” 152 junior RB/LB) is the top returning rusher (853 Josh Peters yards, 9 total TDs). He had nearly 1,000 total yards offense as a sophomore. Nate Haugerud (5’10” 165 senior TB/LB > 403 yards offense, 8 total TDs) and Matt Lutes (5’9” 171 senior TB/LB) each saw action both ways. The foursome, 2016 A-D picks, combined for over 2,000 yards and 24 total TDs last year. Up front, FC lost quite a bit. Third-year starter Luke Ristau (6’3” 225 OL/ DL), a 2015 A-D pick, and Ryli Tostenson (6’2” 203 OL/ DL), are a couple key returnees. A new quarterback will have to be found. Logan Corson (5’6” 155 QB/CB), a returning defensive starter, was the backup last year, though Peters may be the guy. Other seniors

include Dom Merkel (5’8” 197 OL/DL), Bradley Heins (5’10” 177 C/DL), Devan Schmidt (5’11” 167 WR/DB), Dawson Schmidt (5’10” 145 WR/DB), Colten Kraling (5’10” 191 WR/ CB), Eric Kunz (6’0” 161 OL/ DL), Brady Dutton (5’9” 127 WR/DB), Connor Dols (5’8” 140 WR/DB), Ivar Wilmink (5’10” 145 WR/K), and Sebastian Kuhn (6’0” 155 WR). The Falcons have just four juniors, seven sophomores, and nine freshman; a 36-man roster. FC drops L-A, Goodhue, and J-W-P from its schedule, gaining BP, USC, and Cotter. They open with Hayfield. The big rematch with R-P is week three. Karl Urbaniak’s Cougars had a good season last year. MabelCanton went 6-2 in district play, 7-3 overall, their third straight winning season. They fell to SG in the Section 1 9-man semis. The Cougars lost two A-D players, 3,000-yard career running back Weston Whalen and lineman Hunter

Erickson. They return two in Drew Wyffels (5’7” 140 junior QB/S) and Pierce Lind (6’0” 180 senior OL/ DL). Wyffels enters his third year as starting signal caller Drew Wyffels (581 yards, 8 TDs, 5 INTs passing; 230 yards, 2 TDs rushing). He doubles as a big play-maker on defense (9 inter- Pierce Lind ceptions, INT return TD). Lind has played since freshman year and anchors the Cougar interiors. M-C also has Brenden Kerns (5’11” 175 RB/LB), their top returning rusher (168-943, 8 TDs rushing, INT return TD). Ryan Kuhn (5’10” 150 junior

RB/DB) has ball carrying experience (43-234, 5 TDs rushing). Blake Henry (6’1” 180 junior OL/DL), Logan Richardson (5’11” 170 senior OL/ LB), Michael Selness (5’11” 160 senior QB/DB), Cody Hershberger (5’7” 160 senior G/LB), Nate Magnuson (6’0” 230 senior OL/DL), and Dylan Loppnow (6’3” 190 junior OL/ DL) add to the Cougars’ experience. Connor Gulbranson (5’11” 205 OL/DL) brings M-C’s senior total to seven. They have five juniors and a 25-person roster. M-C has SG and Houston weeks three and four. Lanesboro is the season finale. Grenada-Huntley-East Chain/Truman is their opener. Making a nice splash in his first season as coach of Houston was Cody Hungerholt. The Hurricanes went 6-2 in district play and finished 7-3. They lost to state champion GM in the 9-man semis. The seven See SPORTS Page 11 

wins was Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most since 2009. Team double-H brings back plenty of talent including three of four 2016 A-D picks, Zach Schneider (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;8â&#x20AC;? 160 senior RB/DB), Joey Fishel (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10â&#x20AC;? 175 FB/DL), and Cody C a r p e n - Zach Schneider ter (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10â&#x20AC;? 150 TE/ LB). Schneider is the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top returning rusher (89570 yards, 6 TDs rushing; 7-94, 3 Joey Fishel TDs receiving) followed by Fishel (115542 yards, 7 TDs), who shines defensively. Carpenter is a blocking TE and a defensive asset. The experienced cupboard also includes Brady Happel (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;11â&#x20AC;? 165 senior RB/LB > 50-493, 3 TDs rushing; 8-162 receiving), Jaytin Millen (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10â&#x20AC;? 165 junior QB/LB > 42-203, 3 TDs rushing; 204 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs passing; 4-68, TD receiving), and James Hongerholt (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;2â&#x20AC;? 155 junior WR/DB). Millen is Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely quarterback replacement for departed A-D signal caller Harry Chiglo. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Canes return 1,800 yards of rushing production from four guys. On the lines, Cullan Olson (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;1â&#x20AC;? 260 senior) is an anchor. Other seniors include Damon Carrier (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;8â&#x20AC;? 230 OL/DL), Alex Townsend (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10â&#x20AC;? 210 OL/DL), and Zach Brueggen (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;7â&#x20AC;? 165

OL/DL). Houston has seven seniors, ten juniors, five sophomores, and seven freshman for a 29-man roster. They open on a Thursday hosting AC/G-E. Powers GM and SG are weeks two and six. Rival M-C is week four. Chatfield had a disappointing 2016 season. The Gophers finished 2-5 in district play, 2-7 overall. They fell to Triton in the 1AA quarters. Five losses came by single digits. Amidst a 13-man senior class, the Gophers lost two A-D players, Parker Fossum and Kevin Bradt. Their only returning A-D pick, leading rusher Jake Mandt (205-1,071 yards, 13 TDs), broke his ankle over the summer. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out for the season. Coach Jeff Johnson is devoid 2016â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top passer (Dillon Bance), rusher (Mandt), and receiver (Fossum). Jacob Gillespie (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;? 175 senior QB/ DB) and Ben Brogan (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;11â&#x20AC;? 170 junior QB/DB) are the leading candidates under center. Speedsters Ben Ihrke (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10â&#x20AC;? 165 senior RB/DB > 189 yards offense, 3 TDs) and Gage Tuohy (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10â&#x20AC;? 160 junior RB/DB), fullback Kyle Nosbisch (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;11â&#x20AC;? 180 senior RB/LB > 239 yards offense, 1 TD), are the top returnees at running back. Tuohy had two kick-off return TDs as a sophomore. Defensively, diminutive Nathan Goldsmith (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;6â&#x20AC;? 160 junior RB/LB), the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top tackler, is back. Carter Fishbaugher (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;? 190 senior TE/ DL), Cole Asleson (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;1â&#x20AC;? 200 senior OL/DL), Lincoln Salisbury (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10â&#x20AC;? 165 junior RB/LB), and Zach Roline (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;1â&#x20AC;? 220 junior OL/DL) also return. Other seniors are Nathaniel Fox (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;9â&#x20AC;? 145 OL/DL), Robert Crouch (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10â&#x20AC;? 210 OL/DL), and Andy Arellano (WR). Chatfield has

eight seniors, 11 juniors, and seven sophomores for a 27-man roster. The Gophers lose Stewartville, Cotter, and PI from their schedule, picking up La Crescent, Cannon Falls, and L-A. Their first four games are against HVL schools, their last four TRC. James Semmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lanesboro squad is like Chatfield. They lost their top passer (Cole Schwichtenberg), rusher, and receiver (Collin Scott) to graduation. All three of their 2016 A-D picks (Schwichtenberg, Scott, Jared Troendle) departed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a bunch of faces that have made some plays making more plays for the Burros. Andrew Luck (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;1â&#x20AC;? 165 junior QB/CB) is (naturally) the quarterback in waiting, soon as an injured hand heals (70350, 4 TDs rushing; 129 yards, TD passing). Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relief-started games both as a freshman and sophomore. Brett Wangen (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;? 195 senior RB/LB), Jordan Miller (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;? 160 senior RB/CB), and Connor Ruen (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;? 165 junior RB/CB) are key other returnees. Wangen (74-460 yards, 5 TDs) is the top returning rusher. Frank Octrup-Dekeyrel (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;6â&#x20AC;? 140 RB/ CB), Riley Cambern (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10â&#x20AC;? 210 junior C/DT), and Carson Schwichtenberg (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;9â&#x20AC;? 130 junior QB/CB) are other key assets. The Burros have three seniors, six juniors, two sophomores, and ten freshman for a 21-man roster. They get Madelia as a new foe to open the season. Houston and M-C are weeks seven and eight. In Spring Valley, its year two for Brent Stinson as head coach in Kingsland. The Knights are looking to off the win-less schneid. Team double-K went 0-9 last year, losing to R-P in the 1A quarters. They graduated their sole A-D pick, Neal Mulhern. They have returnees all the

way down to the freshman class. Ethan Fenske (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;? 175 QB/S) is back as a two-way starter, the starting quarterback. Fellow seniors Jackson Rindels (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;1â&#x20AC;? 185 TB/LB), Cody Merkel (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;? 195 OL/DL), and Matthew Woods (5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;11â&#x20AC;? 220 OL/DL) have lots of varsity experience. Kingsland fifth senior, Jordan Beck (6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;3â&#x20AC;? 190 TE/DE) wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play due to recovery from an injured shoulder. The Knights have some size with 20 guys 180 pounds or larger. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the third straight year the roster has increased. They have seven juniors, nine sophomores, and 12 freshman for a 33-man squad. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll test themselves week one against R-P.

Scenes

A View From The Woods By Loni Kemp ©SallyKeating2011

Eclipse, Minnesota style We knew the eclipse of the sun would only be partially visible here in southeast Minnesota. We knew we had failed to find the right dark glasses to protect our eyes, despite an online purchase of ten pairs at an incredibly low price (later found to be counterfeit.) We also knew the forecast for clear skies was doubtful. Nevertheless, we persisted. On the appointed day, eight women coming from near and far made efforts to fly in or drive hours to gather at the appointed place on the Mississippi River. Our generous hostess, an international Native American visionary, a philanthropist, a food drying expert, a returning Lanesboro gal, a recent widow, a nonprofit development director and a policy consultant -- what we have in common is a sense of adventure. We are ready to take our chances on experiencing the eclipse on the big backwaters of Old Man River. Following complicated directions through woods and fields, past Wabasha, we all arrive at a spot on the banks of the river. Our host’s pontoon boat soon arrives to carry us and our gear down stream, past a creek that creates the island on which the cabin sits. The power of the river is apparent as we see the dock anchored by 14 foot pilings driven down into the sandy river bottom, allowing both dock and boat to rise and fall with the flow of the river. Even the cabin is on 14 foot

stilts, evidence of the river’s right to carry its load of water as it will. After quick unloading and changing into swimsuits, we hop on board the boat and head back up the creek. We zig and zag along the shallow water flow. We check our watches and realize the eclipse has already started. Better get busy making our own sun viewers. Out of cereal boxes, a square of tinfoil and an earring to prick a tiny hole, we assemble our pinhole cameras. With the sun at our backs, we turn the boxes this way and that until I am the first to see the it. The little round circle of light at the bottom of the box, with a small bite out of the right side – that is the moon beginning its pass over the sun. It would be another hour until it reaches it’s maximum, but now we know we can follow the eclipse process without burning our eyes. The boat makes its way into a wider channel as the circle of blue sky above us is ringed with dark clouds all around. Folks in every direction must have their sky blocked by clouds. How lucky we feel to be out in the sun on these wide-open backwaters, with only a fishermen in the distance and water as blue and placid as can be. We chug out into a mileswide shallow area, and are astonished to see the shore bursting with wild rice coming into full bloom, some six feet

tall. I am humbled to realize I have never been on the Mississippi River backwaters, and have never knowingly seen wild rice, a basic staple of Native Americans since time immemorial. Our host explains that wild rice has only recently come back. For decades the dam below held the backwaters at continuously high water levels, drowning out the rice and other plants favored by migrating birds. Efforts by government agencies to raise and lower the dam have brought back the plants that need wet and dry cycles. Masses of birds and wildlife now return seasonally or stay all year in the rich and free-flowing backwaters. We pull out into the widest part of the channel, just as the sky seems to dim and take on a rosy, almost dusky, hue. A check into our cereal boxes reveals a big chomp out of the upper center of the sun. We know this is the darkest part of the eclipse. The pelicans and shorebirds have settled together on the sand bars as they do every evening, athough it is only 2 o’clock in the afternoon. The clouds rimming the horizon take on the look of sunset. We are spontaneously silent, sensing the unique and delicately colored moment, strangely out of sync with time. Slowly, the aura of magic lifts. The birds begin to fly around again, and we begin opening up the special lunch of salmon, tomatoes and potato salad brought for us. Our chatter resumes its natural flow, ranging between the mundane aspects of modern life and the spiritual presence of the living earth. Back at the cabin, late afternoon rainfall brings a quiet enjoyment to our discussions. The next morning, we are blessed by a morning song with drum, standing together on the banks of the artery of our continent. We feel enriched by this place, these people, and this cosmic event. That which is summer on the water in Minnesota has been amplified in our memories.

Bergey Boys win charity event - again! Bergey Boys Blazing BBQ of Canton received top honors at a charity BBQ event in La Crosse on June 24, 2017. The team’s pulled pork was awarded first place in the People’s Choice Contest at the Rotary Rock-n-Ribs BBQ Competition. The Bergey team — made up of father Don and three sons: Brock, Brandon and Brady — was one of 15 BBQ teams raising money for non-profit organizations. The Bergey’s prize winnings totaled nearly $1,400, all of which were donated to the Mabel Area Food Shelf. Pastor Mary Waudby,

LeeAnn Howard and Fred Williams, Jr. provided pulled pork samples during the contest on behalf of the food shelf. This marks the third consecutive year Bergey Boys Blazing BBQ has won the charity contest, providing close to $3,500 for local community organizations. Rotary Rock-n-Ribs is a joint effort of the La Crosse Valley View Rotary Club and the Holmen Area Rotary Club, with matching funds for the non-profit beneficiaries provided by Verve Credit Union.

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.

USDA announces funding availability to help low-income individuals and families buy or repair homes AUSTIN, MN – USDA Rural Development has funding available for very low- and lowincome individuals and families seeking to purchase or repair a home in a rural area. “Our housing staff will work one-on-one to ensure quality customer service for all applicants”, said Acting State Director Mike Navin. “To help prepare would-be buyers for this exciting step, USDA requires applicants to take a homeownership education course that will inform

them of the buying process and help safeguard their important investment.” USDA’s Direct Home Loan Program offers financing to qualified very-low and lowincome applicants that are unable to qualify for traditional financing. No down payment is required, and the interest rate could be as low as 1% with a subsidy. Applicants must meet income and credit guidelines and demonstrate repayment ability. The program is available

in rural communities of 20,000 people or less. Data shows that Rural Development’s home loan programs increase economic development and job creation in rural communities. For example, according to the National Association of Realtors, the sale of an existing median-priced home generates more than $58,000 in economic activity. This includes direct real estate industry supports, home furnishings, appliances and landscaping and

other economic activity. The maximum loan amount for repair is $20,000 at a 1% interest rate, repayable for up to 20 years. Grants of up to $7,500 are available to homeowners 62 and older and must be used to remove health or safety hazards, such as fixing a leaking roof, installing indoor plumbing, radon mitigation, or replacing a furnace. Time is limited to receive these funds. Qualified applicants have until the end of Sep-

Postal Service eyes January rate hikes

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is planning to raise virtually all rates a bit in January, apparently including a one-cent hike of the Forever Stamp, to 50 cents. And it’s also hoping it will soon get the power to implement larger rate hikes. The USPS will raise rates for both market-dominant mail (such as First Class and Marketing Mail) and competitive mail (such as Priority Mail) on Jan. 21, 2018, postal officials told mailing-industry representatives this week.

A postal official indicated that rates would rise from 1% to 3% for most market-dominant products, according to attendees at a meeting of the Mailers Technical Advisory Committee. Postal officials didn’t spell out what any of the new rates would be. But a statement that the increase for letter mail would be about 2% almost certainly means that the price of the popular Forever Stamp for First Class letters will rise from 49 cents to 50 cents (a 2.04% hike).
